The Carter Family - In the Valley of the Shenandoah lyrics

[Verse 1] As I sit alone tonight in the stillness of the night I picture happy scenes of long ago Of a maiden fair and bright who is seeping there tonight In the valley of the Shenandoah Ridge [Chorus] It was in the month of June when the roses were in bloom When I held her in my arms and softly said "Darling, in the coming spring I'll be coming back again To the valley of the Shenandoah Ridge" [Verse 2] When I left her all alone in her Shenandoah home She promised she'd be waiting there for me But the angels came along and took her from our home From the valley of the Shenandoah Ridge [Chorus] [Verse 3] When the evening shadows fall, in memory I recall The pledge when I gave to her a ring "Darling in the coming spring I'll be coming back again To the valley of the Shenandoah Ridge" [Chorus]
